BMW X1- Leaked pictures for your drooling pleasure!

BMW X1

Here at Checkered Flag, we like to be the first to tell you about new vehicles.  So, as a BMW driver (I love my 128i convertible), I am EXTREMELY pleased to unveil for you the leaked pics of the upcoming Sport Activity Vehicle, the BMW X1.  According to Car and Driver, this car has technically already been unveiled since it was shown last year at the Paris auto show under the name Concept X1.  Oh well, this is the first I have heard of it, how about you?  The official launch of the new X1 is expected later this Summer.  You know we will keep you posted on all the details including availability.  If you would like us to contact you when the X1 models arrive here at Checkered Flag BMW, send us an email and we will send you a personal invitation to come in for a test drive!

Is the Audi Q5 tough to find?

2009Q52

What I am about to say is going to freak our Audi manager out, but the Q5 is tough to locate.  Demand is higher than supply and that is a good thing!  There is a reason why this new SUV from Audi is flying off of dealership lots just as fast as they are coming in - this thing rocks!

Since the launch of the Q7, Audi is getting some serious attention and it is culminating in the Q5.  Yes, it does stink that there might be a little wait to get your Q5 - but good things come to those who wait!  And the wait really is not that long.

Unbox the box with luxury, great gas mileage, superb safety, and an incredible feel for the road.  But the road feel is comfortable enough to not make our Virginia Beach potholes roads that noticeable. 

I am looking forward to seeing more Audi Q5's in Hampton Roads!  Christine can tell you more...

Woohoo!...on Audi's latest confirmations - new A8, A5 Sportback, RS5, A1

Audi-drool

On the RS5 front, the UK's CAR magazine has confirmed that the 4.2-liter V8 found in the RS4 and R8 will be fitted to the new high-po coupe, with output pegged at around 450 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque and delivering a 0-60 time in the mid-four-second range. A series of weight reduction measures will be employed in addition to the beefed-up brakes and suspension, and a topless variant will arrive soon after the RS5 hits dealers later this year.

The A5 Sportback, originally shown in concept form at the Detroit Auto Show, will be available sometime this year, likely packing the 211-hp, 2.0-liter TFSI, the company's new supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and a revised diesel V6 putting out around 240 hp and a boatload of torque. Stadler is convinced the A5 Sportback is a model that will be embraced by consumers looking for something that offers, "the ideal blend of functionality and aesthetics."

Stadler went on to say the next-generation A8 will be the sportiest model in its segment "and set new standards with regard to interiors." The 2010 A8 will debut sometime in November, so we expect Audi's flagship to appear at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Stadler also discussed the new A1 minicar, which will go on sale in 2010, along with a hybrid Q5 CUV and the smaller Q3 crossover arriving in 2011. Audi's detailed product outline also included an announcement that start-stop technology is in the works and will join kinetic energy recovery systems as early as late 2009. At first, the new tech will be fitted to the A3 1.4 TFSI and A4/A5 with the 2.0-liter four fitted with a manual transmission. Audi's goal is to reduce fuel consumption in its range by 20% by 2012, compared to 2007 levels, so it's expected that all of this new tech will filter through to the rest of the Audi line-up in the next three years.

This article and these images were found on AutoBlog.  At this time we have very limited information on these new models and confirmations.  We should be hearing the latest any day now.  Make sure you have your Checkered Flag Audi representative primed to pass you the latest information! 

Audi A3 Convertible raining money on test drive

Audi-a3-vert

I thought this was too good to pass on posting here.  First off, no - we do not have an A3 convertible yet and even if we did it probably will not be doing this...does not mean you should not keep a close eye on those A3's with D-Tags though!

From AutoBlog:

"The old adage goes, "A fool and his money are soon parted." Never has that more been the case than yesterday in Germany when a 23-year-old man test drove an Audi A3 Cabriolet he was about to buy. Described as "not an experienced convertible driver," the man put an open envelope full of ?23,000 in cash (that's about $31,400 USD) on the back seat before he lowered the top and set out on a final test drive.

The cash was going to be used to purchase the car when he returned from his test drive, but once he reached high enough speeds on the A2 motorway, well, you can guess what happened next. The inexperienced convertible driver called police from the German state of Lower Saxony as pennies Euros from heaven began to rain down on the motorway.

The police closed the road in both directions for a half hour and the fool in question did reportedly recover ?20,000 ($27,300), but no one knows if he actually wound up purchasing the vehicle. May we suggest something with a roof next time, sir?"
